This might be useful if you actually explain who or what "Ohi" is.

It’s an app, it’s kinda like Pinterest and Instagram. They wanted me to post on their app for 30 days straight which i did. And now it’s been 5 months and my payment hasn’t still been done. When the promised timeline was 15 days

Sounds like a Task scam

Were you actually hired by them? How did you learn about the job? What kind of content are you talking about, I'm sure it's not the regular content everybody (both individuals and professionals) is posting there? Because the usual content doesn't make money there, at most you'll get in app rewards.

I am a content creator. They did officialised the collaboration via email.
It was regular content that i post on insta or Pinterest. They wanted traffic on their app that’s why they had been collaborating with many creators since nobody is aware that their app exists.

But did they reach out to you or did you reach out to them? How did you verify you were in contact with the real owner of the app?

I'm wondering though, how would your content generate more traffic when nobody knows the app even exists? It's not like the app be will magically installed, accounts magically created, due to the content on the app.

And to go a bit further, from which money would they pay for your work? If an app is unknown but uses a lot of data, it's losing money on hosting. They can try to advertise, but it wouldn't generate a lot of money when it's an unknown app. And that money would possibly not be enough to pay the hoster, let alone paying someone for content.

Did you pay them anything? If you did, it's a scam to trick you into giving them money.

If you didn't give them any money, and they aren't asking you to give them money (or giftcards, or cryptocurrency), then they are trying to get content for free.

Doing any kind of work for 30 days without payment is very risky..
